Vaccine mandate that's benched Kyrie Irving is "not going to change," NYC Mayor-elect Eric Adams says

Kyrie Irving hasn't played in a game at Barclays Center since last season, and now it seems the Brooklyn Nets star won't be returning to the court anytime soon.
In an interview with CNN on Friday night, New York City's incoming mayor, Eric Adams, said he does not plan on changing the city's COVID-19 vaccine mandate, which requires residents to have at least one shot to enter indoor gyms, including Barclays Center. It's that mandate that has kept Irving, who has said he does not want to get inoculated, benched.
"New York City is not going to change their rule," Adams said in an interview on CNN. "And again, it is up to the NBA and Kyrie to come to a full understanding on how to keep him on the Nets and to continue to look at all of our athletes that are coming here. Again, I think the NBA and Kyrie is going to come to a conclusion on this."
